[Verso 1]

         D 
Said her name was marie 
                       G 
From the banks of the lee 
         Bm                             A 
With the prettiest eyes my own had ever seen 
      D 
Her hair like ripples 
                      G 
They danced with the tide 
        D                      A       D 
As our hearts washed away to the sea 
          D                    G 
Was she sent down from the heavens above 
      D                         Bm 
Her breath pure as whiskey my heart fell in love 
        D                           G 
Now the devil is courtin' a different tune 
         D                  A           D 
And I laugh as the tears wash the rain 



[Refrão]
 
        G                D 
Tell me why no one`s listenin? 
        A                    D 
Is there nothing at all left to say 
        G                    D 
In a world so unforgiving 
           A                     Bm 
You mean more to me each every day 
G             D        A               D 
So may the living be dead in our wake

[Verso 2]

       D                                                 G 
One cold winters night behind the clouds stars did hide 
        Bm                                       A 
And the ghost of our souls thanking Christ we're alive 
      D                                 G 
Our spirits they crackled with lovers first sight 
        D               A                 D 
Till the mornin' came fresh with a new 
        D       G 
Will you dance with me now heavens child sang the clown 
        D       Bm 
We`ve nothing left to lose but your wings and my frown 
        D                                 G 
Where over the hills where the valleys will ring 
        D          A            D 
To the sound of our love singin' true

           A                     Bm 
You mean more to me each every day 
G             D        A               D

[Verso 3]
 
        Bm              A 
But the summer sun is melting now 
        G                    D 
With the leaves i`ll soon be gone 
                  D                   A 
Will you have the strength when the emptiness 
          G 
Shadows fall 
        Bm              A 
Or will your aching heart be ripped apart 
G       D 
By the beating from the storm 
D       A       G 
Or will howling gales like yesterdays be gone 
A 
Yeah be gone... be gone
